DOUBLE TOPS FOR GAMES DUO

MANCHESTER stars Sarah Bailey and Matthew Walker have achieved their dreams by being picked to swim for England''s Commonwealth Games team.

Their selection after the British Long Course Championships and Commonwealth trials lifts a huge weight off the shoulders of the two 24-year-olds, who will race in the Elite Athletes with Disability events.

Sarah, of the City of Salford club, had feared she would miss out as her strongest events were not included in the Games programme. And City of Manchester swimmer Walker, of Marple, had vowed to make the team the day it was announced the city would stage the Games when he was still a teenager.

Sarah, who broke the British 100 metres freestyle record on Saturday, told M.E.N. Sport today: "It''s a massive relief to be in the team."
